Geneva 16

27th-30TH OCTOBER 2016

The momentum of our annual gatherings has been building. Last year, almost 1000 people met in Vienna to celebrate 15 incredible years of non-stop prayer and worship...

Over 4000 people from 40 nations worshipped at St Stephen’s Cathedral, at the invitation of Cardinal Schonborn, the Bishop of Vienna. We departed with the words of St Francis of Assisi ringing in our ears, ‘Now let us begin.’

"Awaken the Dawn..."

As we prepare for Geneva 16 our continent is being shaken to the core, as old certainties collapse and darkness intensifies. However, we are people of hope, and along with the psalmist, we want to be steadfast and confident in God as we set our faces to ‘awaken the dawn’ of God’s new story for Europe and the Middle East.

This year at Geneva we'll be featuring two special workshops alongside our seminar programme:

Prayer Walk around Geneva

On Friday afternoon we'll be hosting a prayer walk around the city of Geneva - an opportunity to intercede for this city and for the world.

Break Out & Pray

On Saturday afternoon there will be an opportunity for some people at Geneva'16 to travel to a nearby city to pray:

As a small team of 4 people you will travel to a destination somewhere in the French-speaking part of Switzerland and neighbouring France.

You'll explore the city, pray for it and the French-speaking world.

Practical information:

You will need to register for this workshop at the info board in the main venue when you arrive and you'll receive your travel destination and travel tickets on Saturday morning (remember your passport or ID card!).

We're so excited to see how God uses this opportunity to travel and to pray for neighbouring cities.

(Travel expenses are sponsored by the Manor House Community, Switzerland)
